Beautiful Dining Room Furniture for sale and a couple other pieces
by Christine Cato 29 May '25

29 May '25

Dear Neighbors, After 50+ years in the neighborhood, we are selling our family home and must part with this beautiful dining room set. There are a few other furniture pieces we need to find a home for too. -The dining room set is generally in wonderful condition. The chairs need a little work (seats reupholstered and a little glue), and the small buffet table top is damaged from years of plants. Comes with leaves to seat many more and table pads. We mostly want someone to love it. $400 flexible. -And if you just want a gigantic gold leaf mirror, I’m sure we can figure out a fair price! -The giant dresser and console would make a sweet 1970s bar/ entertainment center! Name your price (free if you move them off of the third floor!) Christine
